Excellent and easy recipe. Used pizza sauce instead of spaghetti sauce the second time I made it. Also used Hormel mini pepperoni bites, they seemed a little less greasy than the regular pepperoni. Thanks so much for a great recipe.

This was great big hit with my family even picky 6 year old. I did leave the onion out and added extra sauce and cheese. I also cut it in half because I don't have a larger freezer. Would be good with mushrooms also but my 6 year old would not eat them. Every one loved this it's a keeper.

Even my picky little eaters loved this. I only had 1 lb of hamburger, 1 lb of medium shells, one jar of pizza sauce, added the pepperoni and about 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce because it looked dry and it was fantastic!!! Time was of the essence so I made it on the cook top and it tasted great and was super fast!
